The cold winter and spring and the absence Of
rain when the plant was young were bound to
have their effect and thus it happens that in
the wheat year summer the crop, though goou,
is not an extraordinary one We may put
wheat as producing a crop of little over O.
OCO,cO0 quarters gross, giving a crop to sell of
little over 100000 quarters. This will
leave us dependent on foreign supplies for at
least II, 900, 600 and probably 100000 quar-
tiers, for it mus not be forgotten that the
shortness of the potato crop will cause
greater demand than usual for breadstutfs.

CHEATED THE GALL0Ws
How Bill Langley, Of Texas, Is Said
to Have Been Hanged Years
Ago and Still Lives.
fort Worth tTexasl specially

Campbell Langley, father of the once
notorious and not yet forgotten Bill Lang
ley, removed to Bell County, Tesas, from
near Lexington, Lee County, Texas,
twelve years ago. During his residence in
Lee and Bell counties he has been known
as we'll to- do farmer and an upright citi-
zen. Campbell Langley to-day told story
to some of the leading citizens which, but
for his well-known Christian character,
would be put down as widest fiction. He
says that his son, Bill Langley, who was
publicly hanged twelve years ago in Gid
dirgs. Lee County, by Sheriff jim Brown,
in the presence of several thousand people,
was not hurt at all, but was allowed to es-
cape.
The father says when the Supreme Court
and the Governor refused to intervene in
Bills behalf rich uncle in California
came to the rescue with 81 200, with which
he worked upon the sympathy of the sheriff
charged with the execution of the sentence;
that the friends of Bill were permitted to
arrange things SO that when the drop fell
the weight of the body fell upon the iron
hoop supported by an appropriate body
harness in such way that he escaped
physically unhurt. When he had drawn
his legs up and down two or three times
the attending physicians pronounced him
dead. and he was turned over to his friends
for interment.
The coffin, which was actually buried,
contained nothing but stones. While the
last sad rites were being pronounced, Bill
Langley was we'll on his way out of the
country. He has been living since his
supposed execution in Nicaragua, where
he has become leading citizen and one Of
the largest land and cattle herders in Cen
tral America. Those who know Campbell
Langley do not hesitate to believe his story,
which he now makes public only because
Sheriff Brown, who otficiated at the sup
posed execution, died in Lee County last
week.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

The Ute Indians, under Colorow, are
ready to fight at the least provocation. The
loss of nearly 800 ponies and their squaws
has made them wild and they are ready for
revenge Colorow says he can get "neap
young bucks from White river; heap Uncom-
pahgre, heap Navajo who are young and
want heap fight, and unless white man go
back Colorow send for them" If he shonld
and make an attack the troops and settlers OF
Meeker, Col, estimate that it will take the
combined efforts of 1900 regulars to drive
them back to the reservation.
The Haddock murder cases are set for
trial at Sioux City, Iowa, September 5th. Fred
Munohrath, Jr., who is under indictment for
both conspiracy and murder, will be tried on

Movement to Prevent the Buying and

Boston dispatch.l
Now that all other labor troubles are set
tied, or in process of settlement, the base
ball players are coming forward and de-
handing that their claims be satisfied.
With them it is not question Of pay or
hours Of work, but simply an adjustment
or amendment of the present methods by
which they are bought and sold as COM
pletely as we're ever black slaves before
the emancipation proclamation. There is
at present baseball union, called the
Brotherhood of League Base Ball Players,
of which Ward, of New York, is Presi-
dent, and before next week is out the
brotherhood will have informed the League
managers fully of what it intends to de-
mand, and the presumption is that most of
its demands will be satisfied. There is as
yet no talk of strikes or lockouts, and it is
hoped that the settlement will be an amic-
able one, for it is felt on all sides that if
the brotherhood should take the bit in its
teeth the disruption of the National League
would be the result
The brotherhood is weaker in Chicago
than other cities, only Williamson, Pfetfer
and Flint being members, but the Chicago
club has to stand or fall with the League,
and if it is broken in New York, Detroit,
Boston and Philadelphia President Spald-
ing will find his occupation gone. Just as
surely, also, if it comes to fight, the SYM
